    Oregon Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators www.oasfaaonline.org Nov/Dec/Jan 2007-2008 Newsletter Executive Council A publication of the Oregon Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, a not-for-profit membership organization Leslie Limper President President’s letter Crisanne Werner President-Elect Whew, what a year! For those of you who have been in the financial aid profession for a few years, I think you’ll agree that 2007 was one of the Tracey Lehman more memorable ones. We’ve seen more scrutiny, more regulations, and Past-President more challenges, but we’ve also seen more grant money for students and that, for me, is the highlight of 2007. New federal programs (such as the Melinda Dunnick TEACH grant) and changing eligibility criteria (such as the Shared Vice President Responsibility Model for the Oregon Opportunity Grant) will mean more money for our Community Colleges students in 2008, but will also mean more challenges for our offices as we implement these programs. Terri Crawford Vice President As you encounter these challenges in 2008, I encourage you to use OASFAA as a resource. Independent Institutions OASFAA exists to provide you and your office with training and support, as well as opportunities to ask questions, find answers, and explore options. The OASFAA Executive Anny Hawkins Council will work throughout 2008 to enhance existing training opportunities and provide Vice President support for all of Oregon’s financial aid community. Proprietary Schools We welcome your input and participation! Carolyn Prescott Vice President Leslie Limper Public 4-Year Schools Patti Brady-Glassman Secretary Donna L.

Courses completed with an earned grade of “C-” or higher, may be evaluated by faculty in the appropriate academic division for General Education Core application. Credits in the field of cosmetology will not be accepted. Lower division courses taken at four-year institutions and all courses taken at two-year colleges will be counted only as lower-division credit (i.e., 100 or 200 level). Upper division and graduate courses taken at four-year institutions may be used to satisfy upper division (i.e., 300 or 400 level) requirements. In all cases, courses must be transferred from an appropriately accredited institution. A grade of “D” cannot be transferred to satisfy any course in the major or minor. In the transcript evaluation process, quarter credits will be converted to semester credits. The formula used is: 1 quarter credit = .67 semester credit. Credit for college-level work from accredited community, junior or vocational/technical colleges is allowed to a cumulative maximum of 72 semester credits.
